Today I am featuring some cards with my newest set: Delicate Damask.  I have a great number of images and fun sentiments in this set. I hope you will like it as much as I do!

Did I tell you I have been on a watercolor streak lately? I have also had my heat embosser on a tear as well! This one I used the versamark on watercolor paper with white embossing powder and then used some watercoloring in greens and yellows to create the panel.  I mounted it on white to make the colors stand out! I love how the sentiment (from Lots of Lines) pops with black ink on the white. 




This is a tiny little gift tag with a clear embossed damask image. I stamped the image with versamark and then the sentiment (which is from Melanie's with black ink.  I poured over the clear embossing powder so that the image and sentiment would both be embossed.  I knew that I wanted the sentiment in black and if I clear embossed the damask, I couldn't stamp the sentiment over the top later! Luckily, the Gina K black ink grabs the embossing powder too! I added some white card stock under the green with some detailing provided by decorative scissors (talk about old school)! These are so easily replicable!~ 



This is a cute little window card I created! the inside has a glitter embossed image from the damask set along with the sentiment.  It was hard to photograph the glittered image - it comes out pink in the photo.
 here is a close up of the window! it is glitter in real life!



wouldn't that make a nice winter wedding invitation?


Stop back tomorrow for a few more samples with Delicate Damask!  One sample has an international flare! then starting next week  I will be starting a new weekly series:



it will feature cards with a clean style! cards which take very little time to make and are just as pretty as multi layer cards! Stop back every Monday for a new CAS card!

Loving the embossed image on watercolor. Cool technique. I might try it removing clear embossing with iron. Never done that, but this awesome stamp would be perfect for that technique.
